“We cannot be a team that has to sell his best player to try and improve our squad.” : Gunners

False. 11 people are on the pitch at one time. Its possible to increase the overall quality of the team by also selling the best player. Id argue spurs became stronger after selling Bale but it took time for those purchases to gain chemistry, for example.

The last thing everyone wants is for auba to leave on a free next season. That would be a lost season for him as we are very unlikely to compete for prem or champions league next season, and for us that would be lost transfer money to spend on players who would be here in 2022 when we should be starting to peak.
